On page 29 of this morning's Gulf News there's a half page ad, announcing the opening (?) of the Floating Bridge across Dubai Creek, complete with a rather odd satellite map of its location. Tucked away at the bottom of this timely announcement is a line announcing a ban on the movement of trucks of 2.5 tons and above, which are now forbidden on the bridge.

No connection at all with last week's sudden closure, and the class one, gold standard, grade A peice of double-speak face-saving gobbledygook also printed by an unblushing GN...

According to Dubai's RTA (Roads and Transport Authority), quoted by Gulf News: "The bridge was closed for about two hours as part of the contingency plan to conduct some technical experiments during the peak hours so as to ensure that the emergency system works effectively using the smart traffic systems."
